Oh Jane you get some better news tomorrow, a lot can change in a few days hun
Congrats me4ever, 17 eggs is amazeballs, well done!!
How did you go today MrsMac?
lyra i'm sending loads of positive vibes your way lovely, you're nearly there!
AFM, just got home from Egg Collection. Feeling pretty good right now, no discomfort as yet. Was feeling a bit nauseous but some lunch seems to have done the trick. I was only expecting a max of 10 eggs to be collected if all went really well, but the FS surprised me saying they got 13!! So i am SUPER stoked with that, a lovely surprise!
So now we wait for tomorrow's phone call to see how the ICSI fertilization bit has gone
Hope everyone has had a lovely long Easter break xx
ReeRee - wow good news! 13 eggs! All thanks to the easter bunny of course Fingers crossed for the fertilisation!
MrsMac - how did you go? And how are you feeling?
Thanks Lyra and ReeRee for the congrats on my epu result... Another day before we'll hear how the fertilised eggs are doing... Yesterday we got good news that there were 12 fertilised plus a possible 2 more. I'm not sure what happens on average if some will drop out or that they will all go through to the next stage...
I'm still recovering from the epu, it goes with ups and downs, can feel good one moment, then have cramps the next. Don't know if it could also be the crinone I have to have now twice a day?!
Hi ladies well just a quick update for me as I am feeling pretty tender at the moment. EPU went well, they collected 27 eggs but I am sure most of these will not be mature as they original only thought I had 6. After the surgery I though the nurse had told me 7 egg and was really happy then I looked at my had and seen the 27, LOL. Other than the pain I am doing really well, not feeling sick or anything so FX I will be up an about tomorrow and hopefully get some good news from the embryologist.
Glad to hear all went well for you too today ReeRee, are they expecting to do a 3 or 5 day transfer for you?
me4ever my fingers and toes are crossed for you little embies to keep growing well for you!
Whoa MrsMac! 27!! Go you good thing! Hope the pain eases up on you soon. The embryologist will decide whether to do a day 3 or 5 transfer for me, depending if there is an obvious 'best' emby by day 3. If no clear front-runner, we will wait til day 5 to grade the blasties and transfer.
Do you know what you will be doing?
Anyone have an opinion on whether a day 3 or 5 embryo is best?
ReeRee the plan at the moment will be a day 5 transfer but that also depends on how things progress. I don't really have a preference as such, I would rather they just pick the best little embryo for me and FX it sticks.
Thanks ladies for all your support over the past couple of weeks, you have all been so wonderful and I am glad I had you all to get me through the the hardest parts. Now it's FX that we can have a good run of BFPs.
My FS believes in day 5 ones so I'm going to be booked in on Thursday if all goes well... I suppose depending on the outcome of what they all look like tomorrow... FX for all of us!
Am so happy that we all have had the epu with such a good result, now FX for the next stage!
Awesome egg hauls girls. Hoping you all have speedy recoveries and that you are ready to go with a transfer soon. It's nice that some of us should be moving on to TWW soon. Fingers crossed for BFPs all round.
Thanks for all the support re my fears of being cancelled. Hoping for good news tomorrow. Will log on tomorrow night and let you all know. I amnot above begging. Hehehe.
So sorry myturn. I definately feel your frustration
Your doing a natural cycle for memory??? Sorry, so many of us in here. If nothing is happening and your still baseline can you start taking progynova. I did that for my first FET. Nothing was happening so I took the tablets and 18 days later did a transfer. With PCOS its hard to know when you will ovulate. Just a thought.
Wow to those EPU results ladies. Well done. I hope you get good news on fert rates.
MyTurn - I'm so sorry. Here's some love for you <3. Are you not doing a medicated cycle? I have PCOS and with my ET I did a medicated one cause who knows what goes on with my bobdy?
Jane - FX for good news today.
AFM - Day 4 of jabbing and we have an FS appointment tomoorow to see how we are travelling. I feel AF'y so the stabbing seems to be doing some thing lol.
Good luck with the FS appt Porsche, yay for feeling that the jabs are doing their job!
Wow Joeve, 21?! Excellent stuff you egg machine
Myturn I'm sorry you're feeling so flat lately, I things take a turn for the better very soon
Hiya MissB, thanks for the woohoo!
And massive thanx to everyone for all your encouragement and knowledge so far for this cycle, I really value everything!!
Got the phone call late this morning re: fertilisation - 10 of the 13 eggs collected were mature enough to be fertilised, and all 10 have made it through Day 1 so far! One step at a time, I am very excited with how things have progressed So now I wait until Thursday morning to find out if we are transferring a Day 3 embryo or a Day 5 blastie
Thats really great news Ree*Ree. Well done. Its great to have good numbers and you feel like they are all passing tests daily and you become proud of your embies. Its like your already in love with them and want them all to survive
AFM - rang the clinic and spoke to the head embryologist at the lab and he thinks the plan to go for day 5 blasties has a better chance of day 3 assisted hatching. He said next time if none survive my thaw then I would be a suitable canditate to look into assisted hatching as I have had three failed attempts. He said looking at my stats my egg quality may not be the problem. WTF is it then??? We just have to wait to see if any thaw and grow onto blasties. He said he would check how they go and how thick the shell was while they are growing from day 2's to day 5's. If the shell is too thick then assisted hatching could be the go to try next time. He said being over 38 and people with PCOS can have a thicker shell. I felt a lot better after talking with him and still dont feel out of the race yet.
you get some better news tomorrow, a lot can change in a few days hun

Fingers crossed for the fertilisation!
